No one has eyebrows in this and it stresses me out - this was an interesting story but I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to get out of it. It felt like something that was more important for the author to write than it was for me to read. It's a reality check to read about someone experiencing natural disasters and political disruption in a Central American setting - through the lens of an American with the privilege to not actually be affected by those tragedies. It felt somewhat apathetic, but that's an honest reflection of how a lot of Americans feel when they learn about tragedies that don't specifically impact their personal lives, whether nearby or far away. It's frustrating to confront the mother's perspectives.
